It was an impromptu visit to the Esplanade Theatre. Jane had tummy upset (or simply LS) so Debra was left with an extra ticket. And it seems like I was the very few who have heard of Avenue Q, so the choice to fill the vacancy was me. I heard that it's funny, so I agreed. Most importantly, it was uncensored.

I'm glad I went. I mean, it's puppets, people would expect it to be for kiddos. That makes it the more interesting when vulgarities and sexual scenes are flying across the stage. Haha. What's the big deal if it's a human saying "Internet is for porn". But if it's Trekkie Monster which sang it, the outcome will be totally hilarious. Another memorable scene would be when Princeton and Kate Monster were making love. Yes, they are both puppets. It's hard to explain to you how they did it, but as you watch, you will know. It just strikes you naturally hee.

It's cute, go watch it.
